The all-new dock provides quick access to favourite and frequently used apps and documents from any screen and makes it easier to work with multiple apps with split view and now slide over.

Drag and drop makes moving images, text and files between apps easier than ever using multi-touch.

Apple pencil is also more deeply integrated into iPad Pro with support for inline drawing and a new Instant notes feature that opens notes from the lock screen by simply tapping apple pencil on the display.

The all-new files app provides a central place to access and organise files no matter where they are located, on iPad or in the cloud with built-in support for iCloud drive as well as providers, such as Box and Dropbox.

Hundreds of millions of people can now experience AR apps on iPhone and iPad and view virtual content on top of real-world scenes for interactive gaming, immersive shopping experiences, industrial design and more.
